Prejudice kills.

eleven years our daughter suffered on q
bed OF misery under the care Of several OF
the best physicians, who gave her disease
various names but no relief, and now she is
restored to usin good health by Hop Bltters,

a medicine as Hop Bitters. Pdreats

A Penltentlary in Flames.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. l5.-A special to the
Courier. journal states that the state PEN
itentiary at Frankfort is in flames. The
fire originated in the engine room in the
hemp house, in which the furniture.
broom, boot and shoe factories have been
conducted, and the entire building, with
its contents, will be destroyed. All the
inhabitants are out around the walls and
upon the hills overlooking the penitentiary
watching the progress of the flames. Only
firemen are allowed within the walls. The
prisoners are all locked within the cell
house, which is separated from the burn
ing dwelling, built of stone and entirely
freproof. TRUSTEES are at work in the
yard assisting the firemen and removing
goods. The building and contents is
roughly estimated at $4,000, of which.
about $4,000 is the property of Mason,
Ford 4 Co., ~lessees. There is said to be
only 5000 insurance.

The Poison Wind, of the slope.

THE people living on the bluffs of the
Missouri i'll Dakota suffer severely from
and storms, " said a man from the Tu-
lare country yesterday, land l hear your
people think their cup of misery is over
flowing when a blizzard swoops down
upon them; but of all the winds that
blow the poison wind of the slope is
perhaps the worst. This wind affects
man, beast, fruit, tree and flower with
its baleful effects. The skin of the hui
man being becomes dry and one suffers
the excruciating pangs of thirst. Cattle
evince peculiar vousn and thirst,
while the milk supply diminishes. Horses
seem to lose their breath and suffer from
fatigue. In the vegetable kingdom the
fruit and other trees exposed to the wind
present a dried up and burned appear
ance. Apples which on N side are not
ripe are withered where exposed. I'm
welcome as this wind is in autumn its
more disastrous effects are felt in the
spring, when young fruit and grains are
often blighted within an hour after the
wind began blowing. Chicago Herald.

PITTsBURG, Jan. l5.-Miss Nina
Clarke Van Zandt, of Chicago, who is
soon to be married to August Spies, the

garded as her heiress and visited her fire.
quently. She was among the guests at

nephew of the late Gen. Jas. Moorhead,
after whom he was named. 1t is reported

New YORK, Jan. l5.-There is still no
material change in the situation in the
coal strike. Factory men are numerously
reporting that unless they are relieved.
they will be obliged to close their factories

said the supply of soft coal, which has
been drawn upon to take the place cf
anthracite as far as possible, will soon be
exhausted.
